"We have more poets than judges and interpreters of poetry. It is easier to write an indifferent poem than to understand a good one."
- Michel de Montaigne

| |  | | | In Brief
"In summertime in an island resort community, {Margaret} spends her days sitting and watching the activities on the beach. . . . She's focused on one particular family, a family she begins to dream that she belongs to. Interspersed with her italicized fantasies and her contemplation of the beach are two more third-person narratives: one following Evan, the boy in the watcher's idealized family, who fears that his parents are getting a divorce, and one about Chris, the lifeguard whom Evan admires, but whose feelings of failure and confusion about family history make him question his summer job and his life. .. . Grades six to nine." (Bull Cent Child Books)
| | | | From The Publisher
Perfect Strangers
Every day, she sits at the top of the stairs leading to the beach.
Always writing in her little notebook.
Always watching.
Watching the loving big brother, so caring and attentive to his little sister.
Watching the handsome lifeguard with his golden tan.
But no matter how closely she watches, she can't begin to know the secrets behind the perfect facades of their lives.
And they can't begin to know the truth about the strange, sad girl who each day sits alone — and watches.
| | | | Annotation
As she sits watching a seemingly perfect family and a handsome lifeguard on the beach, a lonely, troubled girl projects herself into the fantasy lives she has created for them.
